Psalm 142 (NIV)

...LISTEN...

    A maskil of David. When he was in the cave. A prayer. 
1 I cry aloud to the LORD;
   I lift up my voice to the LORD for mercy.
2 I pour out my complaint before him;
   before him I tell my trouble.
 3 When my spirit grows faint within me,
   it is you who know my way.
In the path where I walk
   men have hidden a snare for me.
4 Look to my right and see;
   no one is concerned for me.
I have no refuge;
   no one cares for my life.
 5 I cry to you, O LORD;
   I say, “You are my refuge,
   my portion in the land of the living.”
6 Listen to my cry,
   for I am in desperate need;
rescue me from those who pursue me,
   for they are too strong for me.
7 Set me free from my prison,
   that I may praise your name.
   Then the righteous will gather about me
   because of your goodness to me.
